A STRANGE STORY
A Diamond Ring Recovered After Being
Lost for Eighteen Years.

Chicago News: elias Busby, a
Toledo fisherman, was cleaning IA
white fish last Monday, and in the
larger intestiness of the fish he found
a diamond ring. The ring had en-
graved upon its inner surface 81. A.
B. Chicago, 80" Busby forwarded
the ring to the chief of police in this
city. Yesterday Mrs. Julia A. Len
nox, of No. II Lennox street, identi-
fed and recovered the ring. She
tells an interesting story of its loss.
In 1869, she, as Miss Bennett, be-
came engaged to Mr.. Lennox, and he
gave her this diamond ring, for which
he paid $3.50. Upon their bridal
trip in 1871 Mrs. Lennox lost this
ring while she was washing her
hands in the toilet room Of the Pull
man car the ring slipped from her
finger and dropped through the
waste pipe. AS the train happened
to be crossing the bridge over the
st. Lawrence river, near Montreal,
just at that time the bereaved bride
had no hope of recovering her ring.
There are no white fish in the st.
Lawrence; the theory is that a small
fish seized upon the ring, and that at
some future time this small fish,
while cruising about the lakes, fell
prey to the white fish in which the
long lost ring was discovered. elias
Busby, the Toledo fisherman, receiv-
ed from Mr.. Lennox a check for 500
ior his honesty.

If you would perceive and appre-
ciate the difference between real and
true gentlemen and ladies, and
coarse, vulgar persons for taking Of
fence the first never allow them
selves to show anger. They seek to
maintain the appearance of calmness
under even gross insults; the others
vent their anger in bitter words voci-
ferously uttered; often loud and
boisterous, to the utter disgust Of all
refined feelings. 1t is astonishing to
see what little self-respect and con-

The length to which blind creduli-
ty will go has just been illustrated
in the case of man in Frankfort,
Ky. He had been a sufferer from
asthma for years, and on being told
recently by friend that if he would
swallow few bird shot every day for
few weeks he would be cured, he
promptly began to do so. After he
had swallowed about four pounds
violent symptoms Of lead poisoning
were developed and the man was OBJ
liged to go to a physician. Ills life
was saved, but he still has asthma as
bad as ever.

On South Jackson street Just be-
yond the one mile post from Thorn
asville, is an Albino child, about 4
years of age. Its complexion is of a
peculiar whiteness, having not the
slightest trace of African blood. The
palms of its hands and soles of its
feet are of deeper pink flesh
color than children generally have.
Its hair is as white as snow and
coarse and straight. Its parents are
both black and this is the third issue
from the same union possessing these
remarkable features, the other two
having died at an early age. The
child would never be taken for a
mulatto, but its peculiar complexion
and hair show it to be real Albino.

EVERY one should try to better his
condition if he can. The poor man
should try to increase his means: the
sick man to improve his health the
Ignorant man to acquire knowledge,
and the foolish man to get under
standing. In such matters, the great
question is whether the desired i'm
provement is within our reach. To
long tor what we cannot attain or to
grieve because it is unattainable, is
simply to play the part of a child
that cries for the moon. Let US
know what we have and what we
want; and then, let us next inquire
whether what we want can be got by
striving for it. If it cannot be got,
let us think Of it no more, and en-
deavor to compensate for the want
in some other way.

Fight witt, Bandits.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June "A special from
Matamoras, Mex, says Tho particulars Of
the late action between the Mexican cavalry
under Col. Neves Hernandez, and the Mex
lean bandits recently driven from the Bolsa,
cut of by the aid of the civil authorities
of Texas, has been received. The bandits
numbered twenty eight, and are believed TO
have been under the command of LaZaro
Ayala, we'll known bandit from The State
of Nuevo Leon Col. Hernandez had dvi.
ded up his men to pursue them, and as his
men had unsadd!ed to take supper at tho
Portrero ranch, they were attacked and
fred on from the woods by the bandits and
one man killed. Hernandez at once shddled
them. AT the Conejos rench they were
overtaken and another action occurred, tho
bandits heating off Hernandez with the loss
of three men wounded, he being wounded
in the hand by a bullet which struck his
carbine and glanced just as he was loading
it. The plucky Colonel with but eight
effective men still hung on the trail' of his
foes, and reinforcements arriving he again
struck and surrounded them, capturing it
ia said fourteen, who were Immediately
executed. The balance are being holly pur
sued and cavalry from all quarters are clos
ing down on them. 1t il reported that
case of rifles was sent to these men by the
revolutionary party in Brownsville, and it is
known that most of the men captured had
two pistols and new Wincheaters. After
many years the civil aud Mexican anthori.
ties are working in unison to break up the
bandits which infest the cut-ofl5 along The
border. If the U. S. Congress would take
some action to permit the American cavalry
to be used by the sherifs to aid them, it is
probable that the bandits, who have for
over forty years infested this frontier, could
be permanently exterminated.
